SEASON OPENED

FIVE-GRADE TOURNEY

A tournament for five grades was arranged to open the Wellington basketball season on Saturday, and ! the excellent weather conditions enabled a large number of the games to be completed. Returns from the, tournament will go to the travelling funds of the association, and the entries indicate that the games will prove a financial success. The winner in each grade.is to receive a basketball, and cash prizes are provided for the winners in the second-life division.
